Just after intermission, about 50 people disrupted the St. Louis Symphony&amp;amp;rsquo;s performance of Brahms Requiem on Saturday night, singing &amp;amp;ldquo;Justice for Mike Brown.&amp;amp;rdquo;
As symphony conductor Markus Stenz stepped to the podium to begin the second act of German Requiem, one middle-aged African-American man stood up in the middle of the theater and sang, &amp;amp;ldquo;What side are you on friend, what side are you on?&amp;amp;rdquo;
In an operatic voice, another woman located a few rows away stood up and joined him singing, &amp;amp;ldquo;Justice for Mike Brown is justice for us all.&amp;amp;rdquo; Several more audience members sprinkled throughout the theater and in the balcony rose up and joined in the singing.
Those in the balcony lowered white banners about 15 feet long with black spray-painted letters that said, &amp;amp;ldquo; Requiem for Mike Brown 1996-2014&amp;amp;rdquo; and &amp;amp;ldquo;Racism lives here,&amp;amp;rdquo; with an arrow pointed to a picture of the St. Louis Arch. Another banner said, &amp;amp;ldquo;Rise up and join the movement.&amp;amp;rdquo;
Stenz stood stoically and listened to the demonstrators&amp;amp;rsquo; performance. Some onlookers were outraged and start spewing expletives. Others stood up and started clapping. Most seemed stunned and simply watched.
The singing only went on for about two minutes before the demonstrators started chanting, &amp;amp;ldquo;Black lives matter.&amp;amp;rdquo; They pulled up their banners and dropped red paper hearts over the edge of the balcony onto the main floor orchestra seats, which stated &amp;amp;ldquo;Requiem for Mike Brown.&amp;amp;rdquo; Then they all voluntarily marched out together and left the theater. While they marched out, they received a round of applause from many of the audience members &amp;amp;ndash; as well as the musicians on stage.
Outside, symphony administrators huddled together discussing the demonstration, expressing dismay. When asked if they wanted to comment, they said no. The demonstrators had purchased tickets to the concert.
The St. Louis American tracked down and interviewed the organizer of the event &amp;amp;ndash; Sarah Griesbach, 42, a white woman who lives in the Central West End. She said that the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed teen who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, has opened her eyes to the inequalities that exist in St. Louis. She has been protesting since Brown was shot on Aug. 9.
&amp;amp;ldquo;It is my duty and desire to try to reach out and raise that awareness peacefully but also to disrupt the blind state of white St. Louis, particularly among the people who are secure in their blindness,&amp;amp;rdquo; Griesbach said.
Two weeks ago, she and another &amp;amp;ldquo;middle-aged woman who wear our mom jeans pulled up way too high&amp;amp;rdquo; held up a sign at a Cardinals game that said, &amp;amp;ldquo;Racism lives here.&amp;amp;rdquo; A pivotal moment for her was when people around them started chanting in response, &amp;amp;ldquo;Hands up, don&amp;amp;rsquo;t loot.&amp;amp;rdquo;
She and her fellow protester Elizabeth Vega decided to try again at the symphony, which received a much warmer response. She believes that is because the audience was fairly diverse in ethnicity and age.
&amp;amp;ldquo;There is an inclusivity that comes with that intellectual culture,&amp;amp;rdquo; she said.
The group of demonstrators was also a mix of African Americans, Latino and white residents &amp;amp;ndash; from college kids to college professors, she said. There were &amp;amp;ldquo;representatives&amp;amp;rdquo; from Clayton, Webster Groves, South St. Louis, Central West End and Ferguson. Although she lives in the Central West End, her children attend school in Clayton. As a mother, she has been deeply affected by Brown&amp;amp;rsquo;s death.
&amp;amp;ldquo;This cannot be just a Ferguson issue,&amp;amp;rdquo; she said.
The St. Louis American got in touch with Erika Ebsworth-Goold, publicist for the St. Louis Symphony, on Sunday afternoon. She said the musical piece that the demonstrators chose was appropriate because it is meant to &amp;amp;ldquo;lift up the people who were left in time of tragedy.&amp;amp;rdquo;
She did not feel the group interrupted the performance but &amp;amp;ldquo;delayed&amp;amp;rdquo; it, she said.
&amp;amp;ldquo;The people audience had respect for what we were do at the symphony, and we are appreciative of that,&amp;amp;rdquo; she said.
Organizer Elizabeth Vega said the group prefers to call it a &amp;amp;ldquo;disruption,&amp;amp;rdquo; rather than a delay.
&amp;amp;ldquo;Many of us are artists ourselves, so we were very cognizant to not interrupt the performance after it had already began,&amp;amp;rdquo; Vega said. &amp;amp;ldquo;But we still wanted it to be a disruption that left people with a seed of thought.&amp;amp;rdquo;Athletes Take a Stand for Mike Brownhttp://supersaiyan.newsvine.com/_news/2014/08/27/25684332-athletes-take-a-stand-for-mike-brownhttp://supersaiyan.newsvine.com/_news/2014/08/27/25684332-athletes-take-a-stand-for-mike-brownfergusonmike-brownus-newsathletes-from-many-sports-taking-a-stand-for-mike-brownThu, 28 Aug 2014 00:38:51 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/bookmarkRussia Calls For International Intervention In Fergusonhttp://jlocks.newsvine.com/_news/2014/08/24/25607465-russia-calls-for-international-intervention-in-fergusonhttp://jlocks.newsvine.com/_news/2014/08/24/25607465-russia-calls-for-international-intervention-in-fergusonrussiapolicefergusonmurdercrimeputinmike-brownworld-newshumanitarian-crisisSun, 24 Aug 2014 16:34:43 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/bookmarkFerguson Highway Patrol Captain Ron Johnson flashes Kappa Alpha Psi black fraternity greeting, gets labeled a "gang member" by ignorant right-wing trolls..http://seattle-sunset.newsvine.com/_news/2014/08/21/25552796-ferguson-highway-patrol-captain-ron-johnson-flashes-kappa-alpha-psi-black-fraternity-greeting-gets-labeled-a-gang-member-by-ignorant-right-wing-trollshttp://seattle-sunset.newsvine.com/_news/2014/08/21/25552796-ferguson-highway-patrol-captain-ron-johnson-flashes-kappa-alpha-psi-black-fraternity-greeting-gets-labeled-a-gang-member-by-ignorant-right-wing-trollspoliticsmike-brownferguson-liberals-conservatives-tea-party-racism-captain-ron-johnsonFri, 22 Aug 2014 03:19:39 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/bookmarkFerguson- Trying to figure out what happenedhttp://silenthysteria.newsvine.com/_news/2014/08/18/25455599-ferguson-trying-to-figure-out-what-happenedhttp://silenthysteria.newsvine.com/_news/2014/08/18/25455599-ferguson-trying-to-figure-out-what-happenedwilsonshootingfergusonmike-brownus-newsMon, 18 Aug 2014 17:54:42 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_postLakers rip Rockets 119-108 for 4th win in 5 gameshttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2012/11/19/15267563-lakers-rip-rockets-119-108-for-4th-win-in-5-gameshttp://www.newsvine.com/_news/2012/11/19/15267563-lakers-rip-rockets-119-108-for-4th-win-in-5-gamesnbasportslakersrocketslos-angeles-lakersmike-brownhouston-rocketskobe-bryantMon, 19 Nov 2012 05:00:46 +0000http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/posthttp://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/generic_post<p>Houston Rockets guard James Harden rolls over after being fouled by Los Angeles Lakers guard Jodie Meeks during the first half of their NBA basketball game, Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012, in Los Angeles.
